Love that guy. Billy Beane swears that had he come up in a different era, he'd be HoF worthy. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 12:44 9
- Even when Billy let him play, he wasn't HOF worthy - Will Hunting Apr 21, 12:48 7
  - IIRC, Stairs did not make the majors until he was almost 30? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 12:50 5
    - Yep, and then went about .280 with 30 HR's at the time everyone doing that was on roids - Will Hunting Apr 21, 12:52 4
      - I'll say this, in interviews he's smooth as glass on it then. During his Jays years was when Roid stories were high and I never once got the sense... - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 12:55
      - he was always a defensive liability, which is what cost him a lot of the time. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 12:54 2
        
        You hit .285 with 30 HR power, they'll find you a spot - Will Hunting Apr 21, 12:55 1

  - Keith Law tells the story, so I can't recall the metric that Beane compared and what changed too late. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 12:50

It's like we're following the same game or something. - Kim Pine Apr 21, 12:43 3
- Ok...since we're following the same game...do you end Lohse back out for the 9th? Or do you see if Boggs can close it again? -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:45 2
  - I let Lohse go back out. It's like he's hurrying to get to an appointment or something with the way he's pitching. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 21, 12:46 1
    - heh...I'm watching the GameTracker...so no video. I think I'd send him back out there too. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:47
